How our son was killed In Bayelsa – Family of slain NYSC corps member
The National Youth Service Corps Scheme is compulsory for Nigerians who graduate before the age of 30 and it is an experience many graduates look forward to.
PREMIUM TIMES gathered that some hoodlums attacked the school while Mr Popoola and his colleagues were marking the students’ examination scripts. He eventually died in the attack.The victim’s brother, Jacob Popoola, told PREMIUM TIMES that the family was demanding a thorough investigation and justice for the victim.
He said the Bayelsa State NYSC coordinator later asked the family to apply to bring the corpse to Oyo State. The body arrived at the state on March 30 and was handed over to the family for burial. The family said the refusal of the school to show up and explain how their son was killed denied the family the consolation of getting a clear picture of the incident.
The mother of the deceased, Mrs Oladoyinbo, said her son was never a cultist or involved with any illegal group.School Proprietor Mum
